UK porn censorship and hypocrisy

Hello,

If we lived in an ideal world, I'd be the first to defend the UK
Home Secretary against the eagerness of the gutter press to do
an expose on her husband watching adult movies.

However, the UK is not an ideal place, it has a recent law which
took effect in January harassing private individuals which we
reported in the thread "UK censorship and porn possession law
comes into effect
".

One of the advocates of this law is Jaqui Smith, Britain's first
woman Home Secretary who has taken a stance on the sex
industry, pledging to introduce tough licensing laws for adult
clubs. She is the person responsible for regulating the adult
entertainment industry in the UK.

So, it is with dismay that I see the front page news today was
that this same Jaqui Smith has claimed House of Commons
expenses, paid by the tax-payer, for the cost of watching adult
films. This is the same Ms Smith who also claimed tax-payer
funded allowances for her real home, on the basis that her first
home was a room no bigger than a cupboard under the stairs at
her sister's house.

She says she abided by the rules by designating her sister's
house as her main residence, allowing her to claim payments on
the real Redditch constituency home she actually lives in and
shares with her husband and children.

The Home Secretary, submitted the bill for adult movies as part
of a claim for television services even though she had not been
at the family home on the dates in April last year when the
adult films were viewed. The BBC covered the story here:-

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7970492.stm

Her husband who also gets 40,000 pounds from the UK tax-payer
for being her assistant has apologised for embarrassing her as
it was he who viewed the films in question.

The Virgin Media bill submitted as a supposedly legitimate
expense on her so called second home included two 18-rated items
listed as "additional features", which cost five pounds each to
view. Virgin Media have confirmed the phrase is a euphemism used
on their bills for films with an "adult content".

One has to question the ethical standards of a Home Secretary
who has already claimed well over 150,000 pounds from the
British tax-payer for her family home "within the rules" as a
second home, although hardly within the spirit of the law. Such
tax-payer funds paid for her entertainment centre, DVD players,
two wide-screen televisions and two digital set-top boxes and
just about everything else in the home including the kitchen
sink.

Should a person with such moral and ethical standards be the one
the tax-payers are obliged to pay for spending her time
legislating over what adults do, read, and watch in the UK?

Another censorship issue also hit the news this week which may
serve to the lighten the mood. The BBC reported that the
law-makers in parliament have their own web browsing 'censored'
.

One effect of that censorship is to block MPs' access to
articles written by at least one of their own who writes a
column on one of the web sites that is blocked.

If it wasn't for the fact that government should be a serious
issue done by sensible folk, I'd just want to say "grow up" and
"leave us alone" to the lot of them. As it is, we get the
politicians we deserve if we bury our heads in the sand, so
please consider very carefully just who you vote for at the next
election, and be sure to vote.

I see that satirical writer Clive James sort of agrees with you,
he writes that Porn is:-

"To keep one's mind off sex while one's partner is absent."

And he says that:-

"Very few voices have dared to speak up in defence of the Home
Secretary's husband, but let mine be one of them."
